Apathy is a state of total indifference, disinterest, lethargy, inertia.  It manifests itself in a detached attitude to everything around you, in a lack of desire to take actions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All of us can experience tiredness and unwillingness to interact with our environment. Not always does this state require help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, if the person is in a critical state, and instead of tears and emotions you see an empty and apathetic look \u2013 it means that the situation had such a huge effect on them that it turned on a defense mechanism \u2013 the person merely cannot realize what\u2019s happening, and, to some degree, \u201cdisconnected\u201d from reality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s better to let reaction complete fully \u2013 they will need some time for the realization to happen. To do that, organise an opportunity for the person to rest: help them lie down, take off their shoes, unbutton their tight clothing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re in a public place where there\u2019s no opportunity to go rest or, for the person\u2019s safety, you need to calm them down quickly, the following actions are useful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to help someone during apathy:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

—<\/strong> Make contact: stroke their shoulders, tell them that the things they\u2019re feeling are okay in these circumstances, it\u2019s going to pass soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

—<\/strong> Try to involve the person into a simple shared activity: offer taking a stroll together, walking calmly, put their hands up and down (manageable physical activity), make them a cup of warm sweet tea;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

—<\/strong> Try to evoke their response, to do that, ask a few simple questions: \u201cwhat\u2019s your name?\u201d, \u201cdoes anything hurt?\u201d, \u201cdo you want some water?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

—<\/strong> Massaging biologically active spots is helpful (earlobes and fingers). Don\u2019t forget to warn them about your actions, explain it to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do not:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

—<\/strong> Act abruptly and fast, make loud noises, yank and shake the person;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

—<\/strong> Stress on their sense of duty, responsibility, guilt them: \u201cget it together!\u201d, \u201cstop whining!\u201d, \u201cwho\u2019ll take care of your kids\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to help yourself during apathy:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

— <\/strong>Let yourself rest, don\u2019t pull yourself out of this state by force;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

— don\u2019t drink alcohol, coffee, energy drinks \u2013 physical awakening is not the problem;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

—<\/strong> Massage biologically active spots \u2013 fingers, earlobes \u2013 it will turn the process of \u201crecovery\u201d on;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

— <\/strong>Make simple movements: put your hands up and down, sit down and stand up, stretch;<\/p>\n\n\n\n
